Transcranial magnetic stimulation prevents migraine

Transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS delivers magnetic pulses that decrease the harshness of migraine. The study report was presented at the American Headache Society in Los Angeles.

The neuronal hyperexcitability in brain causes migraine. The hyperexcitability phase results in fatigue and depression of neurons. It spreads throughout the brain and causes hammering headache,

The magnetic stimulation may interrupt the cortical spreading depression. It could abandon the headache. Mohammad, a neurologist at Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus, said that the participants in the study could not take painkillers.

Moreover, they continued using any preventive medication during magnetic therapy starts. He says further that the research reveals that TMS was much better than placebo. It has showed no side effects too.
